Reid Travis commits to Stanford

Johnny Dawkins has beaten out his mentor.

Reid Travis committed to the Cardinal and head coach Johnny Dawkins this afternoon, beating out Duke and Minnesota. Dawkins is a former Duke basketball player and assistant under Mike Krzyzewski.

"I feel Stanford University is the best option I can choose to start this new chapter in my life," Travis said.

Travis, a 6-foot-8 forward, is the No. 23 player in the class of 2014, according to ESPN. His scouting report says, "He's another kid that rolls up his sleeves and goes to work, and what he may lack in sheer size or outright athleticism, he makes up for with physical strength and toughness."

Last week, Duke missed out on forward Kevon Looney, who committed to UCLA.

Grayson Allen remains Duke's only commit in the class of 2014.

The Blue Devils still have their top targets on the board in center Jahlil Okafor and point guard Tyus Jones, who are expected to announce sometime this month. Okafor, the No. 1 player in the class, and Jones, the No. 4 player, have said on numerous occasions they plan to attend college together. Duke and Kansas are seen as the likeliest destination for that to happen.
